Starting with Chem Nutes and transplanting to Organics?!

SO I have a question, I've been considering starting some seeds indoor in coco coir, probably feeding them with veg chem nutes for a few weeks and then give a nice flush and transplanting them outdoors to a nice organics soil mix.

Would this work? Will the girls be stunned on the switch?

I love the roots that coco creates and I think it would be a solid foundation for a OD big plant.

If anyone has a better idea please let me know as well!

Thanks everyone!

You can do it, just go easy on the chem salt fertilizers. Consider using diluted urine, just as bio-available, and as with chem salt-based nutes, it's important to observe appropriate dilution rates to see best results. I start at 10:1 water:urine. In coir it may need supplementation with Ca, possibly Mg and if growth is really explosive, N. Don't forget the utility of guanos, liquid and dry, and stuff like kelp extracts (go easy on kelp with coir, that extra K can really throw things off).

Using an interrupted photoperiod, or are you going to supplement light outside, or just let them flip once they're out?

Hey SeaMaiden, thanks for expressing your opinion... You have any experience feeding the plants with piss while growing on coco coir? That sure is a cheap alternative!

Thanks again!

Not in coir yet, but the next run will be supplemented with urine, absolutely. I say supplemented because I'm not sure I'll produce enough to keep them fed, especially after my experience using it for soil-grown ladies.
 
hahaha! that is hilarious! look how far she pulled her pants down, like she's packin' a 2 foot snake in there!!! even with a funnel chicks don't know how to 'hang' a proper piss!
 
I have no idea why you would want to start a plant with nasty synthetic chemicals and then transplant it into organics.

Maybe just grow it completely organically?

Using piss as fertilizer?? WTF?

Come on SeaMaiden really? You're not sure if you can produce enough piss so you only supplement your plants w piss??

Is this thread just one great big joke?
